</choose> The Greenhouse is a location in The Hotel, composed of Doors 90-99. In The Greenhouse, Rush and Eyes will spawn more frequently and also it is one of the few locations Snare can spawn in without modifiers. Due to absence of lights and higher rate of entity spawns, The Greenhouse is mostly considered the hardest place in The Hotel, along with The Electrical Room.

Overview

The Greenhouse is a vast structure with long passageway halls resembling a dilapidated greenhouse, identified by large windows on the walls and ceiling, overgrown vines, oblong shaped planters, and large floor planters. Crudely made closets are present in each room. All rooms are identical in build, besides the occasional cross-shaped rooms that almost always have Dupe present.

The Greenhouse does not contain any lights. Rush spawns much more frequently here, making the stretch more challenging. Due to the absence of lights, Rush will not have a flicker warning, meaning that sound is the only way to detect its presence. Because of the loud downpours in The Greenhouse, Rush's sound cue is even more difficult to detect.

The Greenhouse contains an entity called Snare, which temporarily stuns players who step on them, and deals 20 damage. However, if the damage dealt would be lethal, the player's health will be put at 2.

Notes

• It is heavily recommended to have a light source since the rooms are always dark, and Snare can appear in these rooms.
  • A flashlight or a shakelight is the most recommended since they can scan player's surroundings further than a lighter.
  • As of The Mines update, the candle, though being a decent light source, no longer possesses the ability to alert players that an entity has spawned, unless the candle is a Moonlight Candle.
  • Guiding Light can also act like a light source. However, it only lights up the doors or the dead players' items.
    • It's still useful when there's a Snare near the next door.
    • Eyes can also act like the light source.
• Rush, when spawning, will take 11-15 seconds to rush through any Greenhouse room and 8 to 10 if I'm Runnin' Here modifier is enabled, this also applies if you are using 'Rush Around'' modifier.
  • Given this, the player(s) need to pay the most attention around 10 seconds after opening a door.
  • This wasn't the case before the Haunt update, where Rush would take exactly 10 seconds from opening a door to attack. The time window between hearing Rush and it attacking used to be significantly smaller but hiding on the 9th second from opening the door would result in guaranteed success.
    • Keep in mind that Hide has been slightly buffed in the aforementioned update and won't let the player hide any longer than 4.5 seconds in the Greenhouse.
• Evading Rush by approaching the nearest closet each time a player enters a room while avoiding Snare is advised, as there is no forewarning due to the complete absence of lights.
  • If a player is caught by Snare, the use of a crucifix may grant an evasion from Rush, though players cannot hold it while trapped, and it is not automatically equipped.
  • The player can use vitamins to reach a hiding spot quicker to avoid Rush in The Greenhouse, however, they should be used accordingly as Snare could still trap the player.
• The Greenhouse will always connect to The Courtyard, which serves as the entrance to the location.
• No items of any type can spawn in The Greenhouse, as there are no tables or containers.
  • This means that there are no locked doors since keys cannot spawn on the floor as of the Hotel+ update.
  • Keys could still spawn on the floor in front of the door with "Locked and Loaded" or "Key Key Key Key" modifiers.
    • This is no longer the case.
    • There was a bug prior to the Mines update where the key would spawn in Snare.
• Despite being one of the hardest sections of the Hotel, the Greenhouse currently only has two layouts. One is the standard square room and the plus shaped rooms. There has been another room, the L Shaped Room, but that was replaced with the plus shaped rooms with The Mines update.
• The best strategy for avoiding Rush is to quickly go to a closet once the player enters the room. They must pause next to the closet; if they hear Rush, get in, and once it is safe after waiting long enough, they may proceed to the next room. If Rush spawns in a second time, they must repeat the process, and if not, go to the next room. The player may need to hold a light source to ward off Screech during the process.
  • Rush in The Greenhouse can spawn since door 91 and until door 98 in the current build of the game.
  • Rush can spawn between 2 to 4 times in The Greenhouse in the current build of the game, with an average of 3 times.
  • Rush is only able to spawn again each 2 opened doors by the player from the room where Rush's last spawn has occurred as the oftenest spawn rate. (Example: Rush last spawn was on door 93, so its next spawn would be on door 95 in the worst scenario).
• It is usually recommended to enter The Greenhouse with low graphics (usually best is 1 graphic quality) due to lightning lasting longer than on high graphics. This trick may also help with avoiding Snare. You can also use the tiny amount of dim light you give off while looking down to also check for Snare.
• Stick to the walls, as it will be harder to get caught by Snare, and there is often easy access to closets in the case players get caught off guard by Rush.
• One effective strategy is to utilize both the flashlight and the candle; the flashlight can be used when next to a closet, to scan the area for snares and other closets, and the candle can be used when players are traversing The Greenhouse and moving between closets. With proper usage, it becomes easy to spot closets and make short trips to each one, and players are given a small safety net when their attention is not focused on a closet.
  • Note that the Candle no longer has this functionality as of The Mines update; in order to detect entities, it must be transformed into a Moonlight Candle in a Rift first.
  • Screech can set off false alarms for the candle, and in the worst-case scenario, Screech will spawn in alongside Rush while players are in the middle of two closets. With careful play, Screech can be dealt with, and the candle will stay unlit, tipping off a player that Rush/another Screech is coming.
  • A crucifix can be used instead of a candle, but it will only save players once, unlike the candle, which can be used every time a player is on the move (provided it has enough durability).
  • Note that the candle doesn't work when Eyes is present; when this happens, it's safer to stay next to a closet and listen for Rush, compared to the danger of getting caught when walking from closet to closet.
• The doors in the greenhouse can be seen through so the player can see the next room through the other side of the door which can be used to avoid Dupe, since Dupe doors in the greenhouse appear to have nothing on the other side.
• Unlike normal doors, Rush will not open any of the doors in the greenhouse. However, it will still move towards the correct door.
  • This specific behavior is only shared by locked rooms.
• Dread will spawn in much earlier.

Super Hard Mode

• Some Greenhouse rooms have less closets than normal, some may have no closets at all.
• The room layouts and garden beds have been rearranged.
• Jeff the Killer is almost guaranteed to spawn at least once in the Greenhouse section, usually at Door 90.
• There are two special rooms with a very rare chance of appearing at least once in the Greenhouse.
  • There is a maze room where players must go through in order to enter the next room. Eyes can still spawn in the maze room.
  • There is a room with a chair and a floating sign saying, "take a seat."
  • Both of these rooms have an exit door that is made of very low and poor quality.
  • Rush and it's variants could spawn in the next room it opens, due to the higher rate of spawning. Due to this, players may still have to stay cautious.
  • Rush and it's variants can spawn between 1 to 5 times. with an average of 3 times.
  • Snare safe spot still working on this mode.

Retro Mode

• The Greenhouse was featured in Retro Mode, showcasing the structure of normal rooms that appear, although, the carpeted floors have been removed and the furniture is bare, like the tool cupboards and empty benches, resembling some aspects.
  • This may have been unintentional by the Devs.

Bugs

• Before the Backdoor Update, there was a bug where Door 90 will be a normal hotel room, and the Greenhouse starts at Door 91.
• During the release of the Hotel+ update, a bug was commonly present where the Courtyard would not spawn, which is the entrance to the Greenhouse. This would lead to a softlock, which was fixed shortly after.
• There was a rare glitch where Halt would spawn in the Greenhouse, however, this bug has been fixed.
  • The room, however, wouldn't be Halt's hallway; instead, players have to avoid Halt in a Greenhouse room until the next door is open. This room bug also had a high chance to spawn whenever encountering Halt, but in the Greenhouse, the rooms have been set to be Greenhouse rooms. This was patched shortly after the Hotel+ update released.
    • Rush and Eyes could spawn along Halt's presence, which can be lethal.
• There was a rare chance that one or more Greenhouse rooms would load before entering the Courtyard, around Room 88. This has since been patched.

Trivia

• After The Mines Update, the Greenhouse has been made slightly easier due to the removal of the ambience. Before The Mines Update, the Greenhouse had spooky ambience that played only in the Greenhouse, this made it slightly harder to hear Rush and also kept players nervous due to the ambience being pretty scary. Not only that, but Rush has been made significantly louder in The Greenhouse and the noise from the rain has been made slightly quieter.
• The Greenhouse will always start at Door 90 and end at Door 99, with The Courtyard beforehand at Door 89.
  • However, before the Backdoor Update, in rare cases, one or two Greenhouse rooms could spawn before entering the Courtyard. They would mostly appear at Door 89, forcing the Courtyard to spawn in a later door, appearing in between the rooms.Technically, two instances of Rush can be present for a brief moment, though can't be seen together, as one is about to despawn after reaching the door while the latter only just spawned, though this will not most likely be the case if the next Rush spawns late.
  • This is very similar to Rush spawning in the old vent rooms, as it would rebound, doing its "second attack", like what it does in The Greenhouse. However, vent rooms were removed in the Hotel+ update.
  • This has been fixed as of the Mines update, as Rush no longer opens the Greenhouse doors.
• When asked what the vine-covered doors were doing in Room 99, Ghostly Wowzers said it would be answered in the following update, which is presumably the same update to The Mines and the Courtyard.
  • However, after The Mines update, nothing changed about the vine-covered doors, except they got remodeled, but the player still can't open them by any means.
• The Shears were originally going to be used in The Greenhouse to cut vine-covered chests, but Redibles thought this was too similar to a lockpick and it seemed weird for the Shears to only be useful in 10 rooms of the entire game, so they were removed.
  • However, after The Mines update, the Shears have been re added, but vine-covered chests only appear in The Mines.
• Players won't be able to revive once the door to the first Greenhouse room is opened, unless a player uses the Admin Panel.
• The closets that spawn in this area are noticeably different from those throughout the Hotel, having a rural design; this is because that all closets after The Courtyard are replaced with tool sheds.
• The Greenhouse is Ghostly Wowzers' favorite location.
• There is a way to avoid Screech in the Greenhouse, which is going into a closet after hearing its sound cue, despawning the entity. This is a feature added in with the Hotel+ update.
  • This is possibly due to balancing reasons, as to not have Screech spawn in the closet when hiding from Rush.
  • Despite this, Screech may spawn when Rush spawned. If players are running to a closet, this may be fatal.
• Rush and Eyes can spawn at the same time, making it harder to hear Rush. The situation can become more lethal if Screech appears.
• Void can teleport players earlier than usual, only 3 generated rooms on the map, since door 80.
• The ambience in The Greenhouse can be found here, the in-game version is sped-up to a pitch of around 1.25-1.5.
  • Greenhouse ambience was removed after The Mines update, due to it being botched, it will be likely added back soon.
• During the first few weeks of SUPER HARD MODE!!!, the Greenhouse had a lot more decoration, examples include massive floor planters, that were either empty or had flowers or a tree in them.
  • The reason to this is unknown.
  • This has also been added with the update of The Hunt: First Edition/the Backdoor.
• It's currently unknown why A-60 and A-120 can't spawn in the Greenhouse if the "Room For More" modifier is activated.
  • It is possible that this is because the only entities that are able to spawn are Eyes, Snare, and Rush, and A-60/A-120 haven't been added to this list.
• The big door (previously known as the vine covered door) seen at door 90 of the Greenhouse actually has a room inside, the reason why is having access to The Outdoors.
• When crucifying Dupe, its arms model can be seen through the other side of the door due to the aspect of the door.
